Proverbs 24:23-27

These also are sayings of the wise: To show partiality in judgment is not good.

One who says to the wicked, “You are righteous,” Peoples will curse him, nations will scold him;

But for those who rebuke the wicked there will be delight, And a good blessing will come upon them.

One who gives a right answer Kisses the lips.

Prepare your work outside, And make it ready for yourself in the field; Afterward, then, build your house.
